Transferring to a CSU with a similar major

ADTs are intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus.

For example, an ADT in English may be able to help you gain admission in majors other than English. It could prepare you for some of the following majors, depending upon the CSU campus: American Studies, Creative Writing, Rhetoric, Literature and Ethnicity, Nationality and Sexuality.

The majors for which an ADT is accepted is available on the Degree with a Guarantee website.

For clarification about what is considered a "similar degree," see Frequently Asked Questions about ATDs.

Is the ADT right for you?

The ADT degree may not be the best option for you if you intend to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to university or college that is not part of the CSU system.

You should meet with a counselor for more information on university admission and transfer requirements when planning to complete the degree.

This program also guarantees that you will graduate in 60 semester units after transfer as long as you remain in the major deemed similar to your Associate Degree for Transfer.
